Klabin’s Monte Alegre Unit will undergo a General Shutdown

The largest producer and exporter of packaging paper and sustainable solutions in paper packaging in Brazil, Klabin will hold, between June 28 and July 8, the General Shutdown at the Monte Alegre Unit, in Telêmaco Borba (PR). The action is provided for by Regulatory Norms for maintenance and necessary adjustments, in order to guarantee the perfect operation of all equipment, as well as the safety and integrity of employees and the entire community.

In addition to maintenance, the General Shutdown allows the Unit to undergo eventual improvements, such as technological updates, always with the objective of improving productivity and operational safety, with the adoption of the best practices available in the market.

To ensure that all stages are completed quickly and efficiently, Parada Geral relies on prior planning and the support of extra teams, with a significant part of these hired from nearby cities – which represents income generation for Campos Gerais. In addition, the attraction of workers should boost the region’s economy and should be noticed by local residents, with a greater movement of people in hotels and accommodation, transport, restaurants and commerce.

UPM's goal is to develop, encourage and reward every employee in their work. UPM paid a total of EUR 51 million as short-term incentives to employees in 2020.
